If its a flat lie and 5-10 yards outside the green, what iron/wedge do you chip with?

I have been told many times to use the 7 iron because thats the easiest, but I resist the advice and try to learn myself to chip with the wedge.

The issue with chipping with the s-wedge is that when I'm not close to the whole It gets difficult to find the right backswing length and Imagining the roll its going to get.

What do you prefer? One short chip swing and control the distances with clubs or going with feel and touch and use higher lofted clubs?
